david, the pentagon says this is part of a fleet of balloons and it was surveying sensitive military sites. do we have a sense of the damage? >> well, the pentagon claims there was no real damage because most of this intelligence they already collected with the satellites that china sends over the u.s. every day. but it loitered over an american intercontinental ballistic field in montana, and it was fitted with what the pentagon says was cameras and antennas and you have to believe that they picked up something or it wouldn't have been worth all of the risk that they ran in sending a balloon over here that they knew was going to be detected. there's no way they could have believed that they could sneak that balloon across the united states. so i think you have to assume that they got some intelligence value out of it. i think you have to assume that u.s. got some intelligence value out of it because they sent planes up to photograph that sensor pod that was on the balloon and they've got videotapes of it. the u.s. was essentially watching china watch us, and it's all spy versus spy
